About
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a disease characterized by autoimmune systemic inflammatory polyarthritis, particularly affecting the joints of the hands. In addition to joint findings, extra-articular symptoms such as muscle pain, fatigue, fever and malaise are also common.
Fatigue is characterized by a feeling of extreme tiredness and persistent exhaustion. The prevalence of fatigue is between 14% and 15% in healthy adults. Although fatigue is common in patients with RA, it may remain in the background in clinical evaluation. The etiology of fatigue in RA is related to inflammation, pain, psychosocial factors and sleep disturbance, it has not been fully explained.

There are various studies in the literature examining fatigue and factors associated with fatigue in patients with RA. This study aimed to contribute to the literature by determining the relationship of fatigue with physical function, pain values at rest and in motion, gender, age, pain, disease activity, gender and disease duration in RA patients.
